For many Australians, house and land packages provide a streamlined pathway to homeownership. These packages take the stress and effort out of designing a home from scratch, offering buyers the chance to own a plot of land and a pre-designed property in one transaction.
If you’re browsing Canberra houses for sale or looking to purchase land for sale in Young, NSW, we’ve outlined how a home and land package can make the search even easier.
How a house and land package works
A house and land package typically involves two separate contracts: one for the land and another for the home’s construction. This tactic allows you to purchase a piece of land and pair it with a home design that fits your lifestyle, budget and needs. With Mellross Homes, you can explore our diverse packages and opt for one that best suits your requirements, or choose a specific block of land and work with our team to create a custom package.
Four considerations when buying a home and land package
If it’s your first time considering a home and land package, you might be wondering what makes a winning deal. To keep you on the right path and ensure you get the results you want, we’ve outlined four key factors to keep in mind:
- Customisation flexibility
While house and land packages involve pre-designed homes, if you love a particular plot but prefer a different layout or style, Mellross Homes offers clients free rein to design the house of their dreams. Whether it’s additional rooms, alternative finishes or changes to suit your personal style, we can adjust the house design to suit your needs (prices may vary depending on modifications).
- Know the package’s inclusions
Packages vary widely in what’s included, and it’s important to know exactly what’s on offer for your build. Some options may only cover basic construction, while others might include additional features like landscaping, flooring and appliances. At Mellross Homes, we clearly outline what each package includes. This transparency ensures you avoid unexpected costs and get the features you value most.
- Timelines for construction and handover
Building a new home can be exciting, but it’s essential to understand the timelines for construction and final handover. Delays may sometimes happen due to unforeseen circumstances like weather or if certain materials are unavailable.
Rest assured, Mellross Homes goes the extra mile with our communication. When you come on board, you’ll be assigned an experienced Client Relations Officer (CRO) who will provide you with weekly updates throughout your project according to your preferred communication method (phone calls or email).
- Reputable builder partnership
Choosing the right builder is crucial for a stress-free experience. A reputable builder with experience and excellent customer service can make all the difference in delivering a quality home on time. With over 40 years of experience, Mellross Homes has built a reputation for delivering high-quality homes tailored to our client’s needs. We only partner with the most renowned brands in the business, from Colorbond Steel and Taubmans Paints to Fisher & Paykel and more, to give you the best results.
